Virtualbox usb passthrough

Help
1

Hi,
After installing virtualbox with:

  virtualisation = {
    virtualbox.host.enable = true;
    virtualbox.host.enableExtensionPack = true;
  };
  users.users.<user> = {
    extraGroups = [ "vboxusers" ];
  };

And installing windows11 guest os, I’m trying to pass through my garmin fenix watch.

I have installed windows 11, guest extensions on guest as admin and configured a vm (usb-> enable usb controller->usb 3.0; garmin international enabled).

After doing all of this I expect Garmin to be discovered by guest os but it’s not happening.

The host os is recognizing usb device:

It seems VirtualBox is trying to mount it but there is some problem:
